It's not that I trust a politician because they're cyclists, but the politicians I trust tend to be cyclists simply from having aligned interests.
@CycleWR has a "Ride With A Candidate" event at municipal elections to show them what's needed in the way of bike infrastructure. I'll sign up for next year's election.
And then there's this: https://bobjonkman.ca/2019/10/16/biking-with-bob-jonkman-saturday-19-october-2019/
Soft, fluffy, sometimes glooshy. Sweet, but not too sweet. Flavour combinations that can mix sweet, savoury and salty. My latest food column is about a recent crop of Asian bakeries here in Waterloo Region.

@ascentale @Kleen @bikenite A6. I have nothing from the past week. But I like seeing photos so I thought I’d share an older one anyway 😀🚴🏼♀️
This is from two years ago, taken on a ride to St. Jacobs, a village a little north of Waterloo, after a storm .
Finally, as a reminder, Cambridge, Ontario, isn’t part of the rankings. That still feels like an omission that should get corrected! But the nearby city of Guelph is a part of the rankings. So let's see how they did in 2025.
The 2025 network score jumped from 37/100, to 53/100. So, not as good as either Kitchener or Waterloo, but that’s a nice jump year-over-year.
Next, let’s have a look at Waterloo’s performance in the 2025 edition of “Best Places To Bike” city rankings.
The 2025 network score increases slightly from 63/100 to 64/100. That’s 1 point less than Kitchener’s 2025 score! It's still awesome to cycle in Waterloo, of course!
Last week, we looked at the 2024 version of the PeopleForBikes “Best Places To Bike” city rankings. Now let’s have a look at newly-released 2025 results for the cities in Waterloo Region. First up, check out Kitchener 😀🚴🏼♀️
The 2025 network score sees a big jump from 50/100 to 65/100. Great to see! The jump mIght be due to 40km/h speed limit on all residential streets, and updates to OpenStreetMap data that reflects that.
Our final beta release of our @CyclingGuide mobile app version 2.1 is in the hands of people testing the app. It will be in App Store and Google Play this week. But I wanted to share a sneak peek now because I’m kind of excited. 😀🚴🏼♀️

#BikeNite A6 from 6 June 2025: There are several upright bike counter displays in #WaterlooRegion. No idea if they're available online.
And there are MANY bike sensor loops on the various trails. No displays for these, so they must be available remotely somewhere.
Here’s some great news for people here in Waterloo Region. Neuron Mobility is rolling out adaptive vehicles as a part of their fleet. The adaptive cycles need to be booked 24 hours ahead, but this is a great addition to see.

Very cool news from Neuron Mobility in Canada, as they’ve added adaptive vehicles to their offerings in Waterloo Region. Initially they need to be booked in advance — I’m not sure what the long-term plan will be. Still, very cool that this is happening!

#BikeNite A2: There are bike repair stands across #WaterlooRegion with tools on steel cables and pumps that always have the nozzle cut off.
There's one in St. Jacobs on the trail coming home tonight. If I'd read the second BikeNite question I could have taken a photo. Another time.
I used a public bike repair stand once; the bike is too wobbly on the mount, and the chains on the tools are too short. I'd rather turn my bike upside-down and use the tools in my bag.
#BikeNite A1: Posting from #WaterlooRegion, along the Health Valley / TransCanada trail. Taking a snack break at my favourite spot overlooking the Conestoga River.
It's been a nice day. A little muggy now, and threatening to rain, but I should be able to get home before that if I don't answer too many BikeNite questions now. Still light out! Yay, #Solstice!
Hey folks! Looking for a place to cycle to this weekend? Check out the KW Multicultural Festival. It features City of Kitchener’s BikeCheck service to keep your bike secure while you enjoy the festival!

Rally against Bill 5, Waterloo Public Square, 6pm on Monday 23 June 2023
What: Rally against Ontario Bill 5
When: 6:00pm on Monday 23 June 2025
Where: Waterloo Public Square
Location: 75 King Street South, Waterloo, Ontario Map
Teresa Cornwell of the Ontario Greens in Kitchener Centre writes:
On June 23rd at 6:00 PM, community members are rallying at Waterloo Public Square to say NO to Bill 5. Union leaders, Indigenous activists, students, and people of conscience are coming together — and Greens are showing up.
This rally is about more than just saying no.
It’s about getting ready to organize.
Bill 5 threatens local democracy and pushes decisions even further away from communities. People are coming together to stop it—and to build what comes next.
👉 Be there.
Bring a sign. Bring a friend. Bring your voice.
Sincerely,
Teresa Cornwell
Ontario Greens in Kitchener Centre
